Reading Notes: Sacred Tales of India

For these last four weeks of free reading, I chose to read the Sacred Tales of India by D. N. Neogi. I am going to be doing my reading notes over part D today.

The Banished Girls

a Brahman widower had two daughters
the took care of the house by cooking and cleaning
From a very young age, they devoted themselves to Lakshmi
they didn't have much and they valued the purity of the world much more than riches
they prayed to the goddess that she grants their father a new wife with a son so he could carry the family name
the goddess did just so, and the next morning he fell in love with a beautiful woman
although she was beautiful she had a very spiteful mind
once she gave birth to her son, she began to grow a hatred for her stepdaughters
she saw them as witches when they prayed to their goddess and would talk her husbands ear off about them
it got so bad that the father decided to banish his own two daughters
one stormy night as they were sleeping, their father took them out in the middle of a forest and left them there
they woke up crying in agony
before they knew it an old lady was approaching them
she told them not to fear
and they realized it was no other than Lakshmi
two huntsmans for the prince approached the girls begging for water
they returned to the prince and the prince asked where they got such sweet water
they explained from two maidens in the forest
he wanted to meet them and protect them at all cost
the prince and one. of his men instantly fell in love with the two girls
they married
it was crazy to see how two poor girls banished into the woods were married to the prince and his righthand man and were set out to being royalty

Introduction to the not so Fabulous Life of Luda

Hi first off I would like to introduce myself. My name is Luda....just like the rapper Ludacris. I am a biology pre-med major and I think the coolest thing about my major would have to be that hopefully one day I can not only potentially save lives, but at least make an impact in someone's life. Last semester the best class that I took would have to be biology 2 (yes ironic), but I really do enjoy learning about all different types of biology and learning about how the body functions from something as small as the firing of a neuron and I'm excited to dive deeper into those things this semester. Although I do love biology.... organic chemistry has got to be my biggest enemy. I have never experienced a harder class in my life and I truly cannot wait to be done with that! I would have to say for accomplishments my biggest one last semester was staying healthy and avoiding getting the Coronavirus all while living in my sorority house haha. Now aside from school, some hobbies that...

Story Lab: Advice to Writers

I used this same lab a couple of weeks ago and I really enjoyed the mini advice that was given. Therefore I decided to do this lab once again to look into more advice to not only help other writers but advance my writing skills as well. All Good Books Are Alike This title really took me by surprise and that is why I chose to write about this one. I feel like most people strive to write things no one has ever written in order to stay relevant or unique, but sometimes that is not the best approach. In this small excerpt, it's not necessary to make all stories identical but to make the reader feel exactly what you are feeling. If you can mimic those exact feelings then you are a good writer. The Picture Dictates the Arrangement I liked this one because I find this to be quite accurate. If you are writing a piece and you cannot illustrate and clear and vivid image, then you have failed to make a good arrangement and everything will be spotty and in bits and pieces. In doing this you ...
